This journal is a re-purposed music/song book that I found at my local thrift store.

Every time I work in my journal, I find that I enjoy it a little bit more and more. I'm hoping I get to the point where I can do some journal art almost every day. I won't hold my breath though as I know how I am.

The pages of this re-purposed music/song book have some simple illustrations printed on them and this particular spread had some trees, clouds, and a smiley-faced sunshine.

As I was putting the finishing touches on it I thought about the scene before me and suddenly a little poem popped out of me.

The earth
the sky
the trees
and me.

Beauty
as far
as the eye
can see.

Oh, and look who made an appearance while I was finishing up my journal page. Yes, that's dear Abby! I call her the inspector. While she has sniffed that water container a billion times, and knows that it is not for her, she insists on checking it and everything else out......again.

Today I'm hoping to finish up the free-motion quilting on the quilt I shared in yesterday's post. Maybe I'll have something to show you on the weekend. Happy Friday!
